Tottenham remain third in the table and have a crunch home game against Liverpool next Sunday.

Seagulls spoil Potter's return

Brighton produced a brilliant display to beat Chelsea 4-1, and in doing so, ruined Graham Potter's return to the Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls had taken just two points from their previous five games since Potter's departure but Roberto De Zerbi's men raced into a first-half 3-0 lead thanks to an early Leandro Trossard strike and two Chelsea own-goals.

Kai Havertz scored early in the second half but the Blues only briefly threatened to get back into the game before Pascal Gross sealed the victory for Brighton late on.

The Seagulls are eighth in the table and can be backed at 5.24/1 to record a Top 6 Finish. Chelsea are out to 2.68/5 to finish in the top four.

City go top before Gunners return to summit

Manchester City went top of the Premier League table on Saturday afternoon thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Leicester City.

Without the injured Erling Haaland and with Phil Foden on the bench, Pep Guardiola's men weren't at their fluent best but they took the points thanks to a scintillating Kevin De Bruyne free-kick early in the second half.

City's stay at the top of the table lasted not much longer than 24 hours however thanks to Arsenal's 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners flew out of the blocks, soring inside five minutes through Gabriel Martinelli, before goals from substitute Reiss Nelson (two), Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard sealed the points for Mikel Arteta's men.
